The Story Of Simon Simopath
'The Story Of Simon Simopath' is the debut album by British psychedelic band Nirvana, released by Island Records in
1967. Described by Melody Maker's Chris Welch as a "science fiction pantomime album," the songs are linked with a story
on the back cover which details the dream of Simon Simopath to fly. 'Pentecost Hotel' was released as a single with the
non-album b-side, 'Feelin' Shattered.' 'Wings Of Love' was the next single, also with a non-album b-side, 'Requiem To
John Coltrane.' In a retrospective review on AllMusic, Stewart Mason feels that the "unashamedly twee early concept
album," with its "deliberately childlike tone," despite being "a collection of unconnected songs forced together" in a
"rather silly story," is a "uniformly solid set of well-constructed psych-pop tunes." 'The Story Of Simon Simopath' was
selected for The MOJO Collection as one of the most significant albums in musical history. Comes on purple vinyl.
